Birnur X Arap's 17 puppies at 3 weeks old


 New area separating the litter in half so the mob of 17 does not overwhelm momma.  For the purpose of pics only, the males are on the left and females on the right of the divider.  Momma can go around the fence at the far end or jump it.  The heat lamps were raised but we had just let Birnur in to check things out here.
 MALES:


 Male 1 (aqua collar)
3 week old weight:  2 lbs 5 oz
This one is our biggest challenge, since he has a mind of his own about how much and when he eats!  If the milk is not warm enough to his satisfaction, forget it!  He's getting TLC.


Male 2 (gray collar)

3 week old weight:  4 lbs 11 oz

The "big guy!"  
Dağcı (pronounced DAH jeh) is his Turkish nickname, meaning mountain climber, as he was always the one to climb to the top of the puppy pile to sleep.  My theory is that this guy squished Male 1 (first born) into the lower end of the uterine horn so he didn't have as much room to grow prior to birth.  Therefore, he may make up for all of it as he grows. Who knows!


Male 3 (orange collar)

3 week old weight:  2 lbs 15 oz




 Male 4 (pink collar)

3 week old weight:  3 lbs 11 oz

 Male 5 (red collar)

3 week old weight:  3 lbs 11 oz

 Male 6 (brown collar)

3 week old weight:  4 lbs 3 oz

 Male 7 (green collar)

3 week old weight:  4 lbs 10 oz

 Male 8 (blue collar)

3 week old weight:  3 lbs 7 oz

Male 9 (black collar)

3 week old weight:  3 lbs 14 oz

  


Male 10 (purple collar)

3 week old weight:  4 lbs 3 oz

 


FEMALES:
 Female 1 (red striped collar)

3 week old weight:  3 lbs 13 oz

 Female 2 (purple striped collar)
3 week old weight:  3 lbs 8 oz


 Female 3 (orange striped collar)
3 week old weight:  3 lbs 1 oz


Female 4 (aqua striped collar)
3 week old weight:  3 lbs 2 oz


 Female 5 (pink striped collar)
3 week old weight:  3 lbs 0 oz


 Female 6 (tan striped collar)

Female 7 (yellow striped collar)

The whole gang of 17:
 This is still a very crazy process, trying to figure out ways to keep puppies supplemented and their area clean!  This week a litter box area will be introduced for each group of puppies.  Let's hope they use it!!!  Last time we tried it with a litter, they slept in the litterbox!  :-(
